THANK YOU RYAN DEMPSTER!!!!! I AM GOING TO MISS SEEING YOU ON
THE MOUND. YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT CUB AND A FINE HUMAN BEING.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ON YOUR NEW TEAM AND IN YOUR NEW LIFE. HOPE
TEXAS IS GOOD TO YOU.

thank you much Ryan. It was easy to cheer for you. You have been a credit to baseball, the Cubs, and yourself. As a 50 + year Cub fan you have been one who I would love to have as a neighbor. I wish he best to you and your family and hope to see you in the World Series. You deserve it and I will miss you.
